Came across multiple such post on Reddit across IndiaVerse subreddits. He needed around ₹19,00,000 (~$23,000) to save his baby, of which ₹17,81,180 (~$21,000) has been crowdfunded. His kid has a very rare liver condition called the Crigler-Najjar Syndrome.
This guy has requested folks from r/india, also from a bunch of young adults and teens to pay what little they can, for his baby. Most of these people are themselves from the lower-middle class families, and doing their best to give what little they can, giving around ₹100-500.
The fact that we are supposed to beg to our fellow worker for help, who are themselves impoverished, while the one who steals our wage does not give a crap about us, boggles me.

See that table? Those are just the top ten billionaires. Had I continued adding the 200, your jaws would have probably dropped.
